This is a church in Akobo, Sudan. Lester Boleyn is on the left. Nuer translator, Tut Wan Yoa, is on the right.

Esther Boleyn said the woman pictured here, Elizabeth, was happy to have reading material in her native tongue. Esther said that most adults they met in southern Sudan, born before the civil war, would have had the opportunity to learn to read Nuer. Their children, however, might not have learned to read because schools were closed during the war.

This photo was shot in Kenya, where a man is loading boxes of other reading materials that will be flown to the Nuer people in southern Sudan. Lester Boleyn said that on top of translating the Bible, their team tried to translate other reading materials, "when we had spare time."

This photo was taken inside an unfinished church in Mankien, Sudan.

Several Nuer villagers are shown outside the house where Lester and Esther Boleyn slept while they were in southern Sudan. Esther Boleyn said the house and the village has since been bombed. "Armies destroyed the village," Esther said.

Corn stalks were used as rafters for huts, which had roofs made of grass, Lester Boleyn said.

Several Nuer women in Leer, Sudan, gather to make tea. "They had sort of a micro business going on," Esther Boleyn said.

Nuer translators would debate over draft copies of the Bible, with one of them recording their conclusions onto tablets like these, Lester Boleyn said.
